When summer sets in, announcing the arrival of the holidays, we always think of protecting our skin with sun cream. This is a very good thing to do, especially to avoid sunburn.
But have you thought about your hair?
It also needs protection, especially if it is frizzy, curly or afro. Like our skin, at this time of year it is fragile and we must take care of it so that it is not dry and damaged when the summer comes. Indeed, the sun's rays are harmful to the scalp because they attack it and dry it out, which can lead to dandruff. Similarly, when we swim, sea and pool water damage our hair, making it rough and difficult to detangle. Fortunately, there are simple and natural solutions to protect them. One of them is the use of aloe vera-based oils and gels. These products are adapted to frizzy, curly or frizzy hair and have many benefits, but above all they moisturise it. This is also essential in summer to preserve your hair. So before leaving on holiday, remember to slip an oil or gel into your vanity! Especially since it's very easy to use them and make them part of your summer beauty routine.
A plant well known for its moisturising properties
As we've already mentioned it in a previous article, the benefits of aloe vera on kinky, curly and frizzy hair are numerous. And at this time of the year, its moisturising properties are the ones that particularly interest us. Growing in arid environments, this plant needs to store a lot of water to develop and survive. This is why its gel has moisturising properties. Using it on your hair helps to moisturise it and protect your scalp from external aggressions such as the sun's rays. It also makes it shine. Aloe vera also has a cooling effect and on hot days it is quite pleasant. It is non-greasy and has a natural pH, so you can use it every day, especially if you are out in the sun or swimming in the sea or pool. For curly, kinky and frizzy hair, this plant works wonders and moisturises deeply.
